As a way to continue the discussion we started on this blog during the Fall 2009 semester, I will be posting copies of some of the final papers students wrote that I found particularly compelling. I have asked for permission to publish them here and those that are posted appear because of the generosity of the student authors.
The first paper I would like to highlight was written by Jordan Sanford. It is entitled Dialogue in the Phaedrus - A Gesture Towards Self-Cultivation.
In this paper, Jordan expands our understanding of Platonic dialogue by arguing that the Phaedrus draws our attention to the details of natural things in order to suggest that the human relation to nature is itself dialogical.
